NJ. 7. Close, a neat-looking white man, was
given a cell in the city prison yesterday morning
by station house keeper Buchanan. The prisoner

Some years ago Close connected with

property to his creditors and retired. Soon after
this he came to Georgia and settled down on a

A few days ago Quinlan came to Atlanta for
the purpose of collecting his money, and going

Close sought Martin & Haygood for legal advice,

The Coming Yacht Race.

New York Letter.
The newspapers are making desperate strug-
giles to invent some way In which they can get
exclusive news of the coming transatlantic
yacht race. Through the kindness of the own
ers of the competing yachts. the Coronet and the
Dauntless, large number of correspondents
will be taken across. These enterprsing men
have fitted themselves up with amateur photo
graph arrangements and all sorts of things.
They will take along some carrier pigeons to
bring back news of the first few days and thea
have arranged system of signals to send dis
patches to passing steamers. One reporter has
provided himself with q bow-gun and in case of
running near an inward bound ship he hopes to
shoot message on board which will give his
paper history of the trip up to date. Of course
the reports will have to be cabeled from the
other side and blank diagram ruled off into
squares and numbered has been arranged to
cable outline sketches Of any accidents that may
occur. The only thing that bothers the repor
ters is to decide which will be the winning
yacht. There is very little use in making the
trip on the second boat The big story will be
with the craft that gets in first. and those that
are day or so behind on the last boat will be
badly left The danger of not being the
winning yacht has taken all the prospective fun
out of the trip.

The Expense of the Railway Bill.

1H6 EApeubo u lilo halfway BILL
There is a feeling among railroad men. and it
is as well shared by business mon, that Congress
did not comprehend the magnitude of the work
and the great expense attached to putting in
operation the interstate commerce law A very
serious doubt has arisen as to whether the ap-
preparation is sufficient to allow the Commits
soners to carry the law into efectin all its details
The appropriation is but 100000 There are to be
five commissioners; the salary of each will be
$500. This will amount to $37, 800, and the
salary of the secretary, $780, will swell the
salary total to Sal, 000 Therefore only $50, 900
will be left for travelling expenses, clerk hire,
printing and other expenses which abso
lutely necessary. The details cannot be carried
out for such a sum. 1t is believed that many
times that amount will be required. The bill
contemplates an entire supervision of the trans
portation system of the country. All rates for
passenger and freight traffic, all contracts made
between companies, all statements and reports
upon earnings. all complaints by dissatisfied
shippers and all special inquiries about the con-
struction of the law as it applies to traffic be-
tween distant points and other matters touching
thousand and one details, must be brought be-
fore the commissioners.

Don't Draw the Lines Too Close.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
find that they have quite problem to solve as
to in what manner they shall bestow their chart
ties. The organization is annually called upon
to pay large sums to the representatives of de-
ceased members, who in their lives neglected to
take advantage of the life insurance privileges
offered by the Brotherhood, or otherwise make
provision for those depending upon them. The
fact that such large sums are paid to persons
having no legal claim upon them is signal
evidence of the kindly feeling of the members of
the Brotherhood for those in distress Many
feel, however, that the line of action involves
an injustice to those who carry life insurance.
and it is proposed such payments shall be pro-
hibited in future. Railway Life, In comment
ing on this proposition. says: 'The case is very
difficult one, but we hope the Brotherhood will
consider very seriously this proposition before
adopting it. We believe that with mon Of the
class making up this very important organization
the desired end can be achieved by laying the
facts before the membership, leaving each N an
to perform his obvious duty in the matter. The
Brotherhood has been made what it is. not by
well-drawn rules, sbut by the thorough feeling
of fellowship among the members of the pro-
fession. and this spirit, rather than mere rules
should be appealed to-"

Advice to Wives.

We've been talking with a woman who
has trained several husbands, and is now q
candidate for another trial as good wife.
She makes some observations, gained
from her varied experience, that are valu-
able, and, as this is the bridal season, we
think, timely.
She says it is easy enough to win a hus-
band; it is more difficult to keep him.
That any attractive little dumping with
bright eyes and q coaxing voice may gather
In noble husband.
She insists that noble husbands are
thicker than red roses on toboggan slide,
but it takes master hand to draw out that
nobility and keep it at home.
II requires soothing, she says, but if the
wife understands her business she can di-
rect things SO that her husband will think
ii delicious when she asks him to bring mp
q scuttle of coal or get up in the middle of
the night to kill burglar, he knows is
nothing but muley COW believing. That
he will feel it a special mark of favor to
drive that lame COW to the police station,
clothed in very little else than little brief
authority. She says it is useless to try to
describe the magic power q devoted wife
may exercise over her husband. Her logic
contends that there is something in the
great, rough, earnest Iature of a man that
can be won quicker and easier with gentle
ness and tender steak than by bilious
course of broom handle reasoning with
bread and milk diet.
A husband with such wife will not
think that, because he gets up to warm the
babys milk near the fire, or to look fol
burglars, and is otherwise obedient, il
is because he has no backbone. 1t is
simply because he is the husband of the
1f x.l,0 ha 10 10 III -
proud.
Young ladies, if you expect to marry
and of course you do-you must draw
your own conclusions. This widow is
certainly clever woman.
She is not especially q sweet-minded
woman, nor a superior creature. She
simply studies her husbands, learns ali
their idiosyncrasles, and acts with atfec-
tomato discrimination.

Wives Wanted.

The newspapers are very generally
advising young women to go West.
There are greater number IN the
crowded East than can find husbands,
even if all the men should make up
their minds to marry, which is not
likely, while it is stated that in many
parts of the West, notably in certain
sections in Minnesota, men are so AK
ious to get out of single blessedness,
and the stock of young women for
wives is so very far short of the de-
mand, that money rewards in considera-
BILE amounts are being offered for them.
1t does seem to be a pity that the
young women who desire to be wives
are not more fortunately located as re-
CARDS proximity to the young men who
want to be husbands, but it would be
rather an indicate thing, neverthe-
less, for any of our Eastern young
women to go West in acknowledged
search of husbands. 1t would be risky,
too, though many insist that marriage
is risky business at best, and that the
crop of unfortunate largely exceeds
that of happy unions.
Isn't it case for some one of the
womens benevolent unions to take
hold of? Why not establ sh agencies
in the Western towns to examine and
register eligible applicants for wives!
and in Eastern towns to make record
of eligible candidates for wifehood?-

had occurred, in which many were killed
